OUR INHERITED DYSFUNCTION _____________________________ The normal state of mind -looking into humanitys ancient religions and spiritual traditions might be called dysfunction even madness.The Hindi name for the viel of dilusion is maya Ramana Maharishi states the mind is maya.The Buddah said the natural mind produces dukka will manifest in every situationsooner or later. Translated as suffering,misery or unsatisfactoriness. According to Christianity the normal state of mind is one of original sin Sin means to miss the point.from ancient Greek an archery term.Miss the target.Again pointing out the cultural baggage and inherent dysfunction in the human condition. The achievements of humanity are impressive and undeniable.The human mind is extremely intelligent.Yet its very intelligence is tainted by madness. At the onset of world war one by 1914 the highly intelligent humans had invented bombs,machine guns,submarines,flamethrowers and poision gas.Intelligence in the service of madness! by the end of the war 10 million had died violent deaths many more maimed and injured.This to gain a few miles of mud.Survivors looked on in horror.Never before had human madness been so destructive in its effect, so clearly visible.Little did they know it was only the beginning.By the end of the century one hundred million humans had died violent deaths at the hands of thier fellow humans. If I turn on the News i can see the madness has not abated.The collective manifestations of human insanity. The heart of the madness.It has to a large extent left us a history of madness.If history of humanity were a clinical case the diagnosis would have to be:chronic paranoid delusions,a pathological propensityto commit murder and acts of extreme violence against his percieved enemys.Criminally insane with a few brief lucid intervals. BUT WAIT.THERE IS HOPE- THE ARISING OF A NEW CONSCIOUSNESS tune in next time for the medicine Excerts from Eckhart Tolles A New Earth
